I’ve been thinking all day about this looming race between Dean and Clark for the soul of the democratic party.
Clark polls much better against Bush than Dean. That’s a big deal. There’s no point in supporting someone who can’t beat Bush.
But what i’ve been mulling about is the attractiveness of the Internet-centric, inclusive campaign that Dean has run to date and whether Clark has the personality and brain trust to do the same. I badly want the Democratic candidate to be someone who understands what we all understand – that the Internet changes the game fundamentally and must be harnessed as part of a progessive forward thinking political effort like running for President.
And i finally came upon some words of wisdom, that Jim Moore, who is a great thinker, posted on his blog today.
If you are interested in this topic, i’d suggest you go read what Jim has to say.
